Same. I heard they had a women's league, but the highlights were awful. Then I saw Clark. Man she plays smooth. The others were so dumpy yet her passing and shooting were pinpoint.
I'm from the UK, I've never been a fan of basketball, and over the last ten years I've lost interest in the sports I once watched religiously! When I heard about Caitlin Clark I took a look just out of curiosity. There was something about her that drew me in, and before long I was hooked! I never dreamed I would ever watch women's basketball. The idea that she isn't responsible for the sudden flood of interest is nonsensical. It's coming from all over the world! It just the truth? It is what it is?
@chrisdolan I watched 3 years of Caitlin while she was in college. In 2023, Iowa went to the NCAA championship game, same this year, all because of Caitlin's tenacity. She and Angel Reese were drafted into the WNBA, and Caitlin's team, the Fever had a grueling schedule to start with, 11 games in 20 or 21 days, tougher than ANY other team in the WNBA. She was "hazed" during the first half of her rookie season but quickly learned how to play the same "game" after they had a week's break. She got to know her team, their plays, and when she brought the ball to the front court, she no longer had a lost puppy look on her face. She will be on fire after the Olympics and a month's break from basketball. People will see a new Caitlin Clark when they get back to the 2nd half of their schedule. I'm glad she's getting a break, she's been on the court since 2023 began with very little free time.
I'm from the Philippines I don't watch WNBA but when my granddaughters told that WNBA are good to watch bec, of CC I became interested and start seeing WNBA CC is a fantastic player wow
I am from the Philippines, a male, and 60 years old. I've never watched WNBA games (only NBA). But now I am watching Caitlin and the Fever play. Paris (world) is missing Caitlin.
45 year old blk man, i never watched a WNBA game in my life, but thanks to CC im a fan now, her ability to read the floor is amazing to watch, im a big fan
He was American he had on all American clothes. He did have on a American basketball team hat. This was all plan. None of you CC fans could go to Paris so stop lying.
This is Elanna Christinaki , she won the MVP in the Greek league last season. She went to College in the US, played for Florida and then Maryland, great player herself!
4:22 - Notice that she said 'our own', not their own, meaning women's basketball, not just the WNBA. Any country would be more than welcoming to receive CC and claim as their own, and make HUGE $$$ off it. She'll probably even become a national hero.
The Olympic motto is supposedly "Faster, Higher, Stronger" but we're being cheated out of seeing that with the omission of Clark from the team. I graduated from Michigan State University back in 1986, and I'm old enough to remember seeing Magic vs. Bird in the NCAA finals. I don't recall any team ever beating the Spartans in the manner that Clark's Hawkeyes did. It's tied at 73 with less than 10 seconds left. Every Hawkeye is outside the 3-point line. They get the ball to Clark who launches a logo-three at the buzzer as time expires. Who diagrams plays like that? I don't recall ever seeing anything like that before. When team USA needed a point against South Sudan, they had LeBron drive the basket. That's what everyone else would do: take the higher percentage shot. Clark is showing us something either rarely seen--or never seen before. But no, we don't want her. I think it stinks. I'm upset, and I think I've been cheated by those running US Women's team.
I just read what you wrote. My ex also went to Michigan State, and she was a cheerleader obviously for Magic, and I’m in totally for Larry, as I lived in Boston off,and on since the 1970,s through the eighties, and nineties etc. etc.
OMG. She said it’s consistent with the WNBA CULTURE. The hating of other women, the non welcoming, unsportsmanship? What a legacy to showcase our country!
Those players should be pointing out the empty seats to each other instead of a child hold a sign. The empty seats spoke volumes. CC’s Mexico vacation pictures will draw more eyeballs than the entire USA women basketball games combined
Yup it was, but her not getting player of the month was even more outrageous, here's all the stats. For player of the week: - Ionescu: 25.0 pts, 5.0 reb, 5.0 ast, 1.5 stl, 0.3 blk, 3.3 to; 46.3% FG, 45.5% 3s, 92.0% FT - Clark: 22.5 pts, 5.0 reb, 12.8 ast, 2.0 stl, 1.3 blk, 5.8 to; 45.5% FG, 30.6% 3s, 90.5% FT For player of the month: - Clark: 20.3 pts, 6.3 reb, 12.5 ast, 1.8 stl, 0.8 blk, 5.5 to; 43.2% FG, 27.3% 3s, 92.6% FT - Ionescu: 23.2 pts, 4.7 reb, 4.8 ast, 1.2 stl, 0.2 blk, 2.7 to; 42.7% FG, 35.7% 3s, 92.6% FT
My daughter lives in Iowa and she talk about Caitlin so i was convince and watched her. I was amazed and i can say that she’s one of the best shooter and court general on the floor.❤❤❤
Bro, if Caitlin Clark played in the olympics,it would of probably been dream team vibes where the opposing teams players was asking the dream team players for autographs lmao!
They tried to sub CC in for Arike and CC said “nope I am not going to mess up her game… Arike is on fire right now” just about any other WNBA player would have taken Arike’s shinning moment away 😂😂. Not to mention, that was Arike’s second MVP against team USA 😂😂
Spain vs. China - 27,021 Serbia vs. Puerto Rico - 15,324 Nigeria vs. Australia - 24,023 Germany vs. Belgium - 20,211 France vs. Canada - 20,211 USA vs. Japan - 13,040. That's over 8,000 below the average attendance over the first couple days.. Sheesh
I would have watched the Olympics if CC was playing. But after that Olympic opening, there was no way I could support their ceremony to satan. I’m glad CC didn’t get chosen, it was a blessing. #GodFirst #TeamCaitlinClark 😌🙏🏽❤️👩🏻🏀🌟🕊️
I'm from the middle east and have never watched a WNBA game until RUclips told me Caitlin Clark exists. Now I'm addicted to her, watch Fever games on RUclips and follow her snubbers in the Olympics. Caitlin Clark is an excellent ambassador for her country. She represents everything that is good in people.
I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 live in Canada came to the WNBA because of CC I watched College and NBA but can see now why the W was a failure so toxic some player are and coaches
She looks a bit like Samantha Bricio who plays volleyball, former USC big time player. Caitlin Clark was famous across seas months ago, and that liking has only grown.
I’m with you brother . I too like the idea of missing CC, and AB playing. It’s a beautiful thing to watch. It’s rather like Bird, and Magic albeit they were competitors, and AB, and CC are mates .
The Olympic 1992 Dream Team had the most future hall of fame players on it of any Olympic team. People world wide could not get enough of the Dream Team. Caitlin Clark is a future hall of fame player. Selecting Caitlin Clark and other future hall of fame players should be the selection process used by USA basketball if winning and to having people world wide become interested in women’s basketball are the objectives.
During their showtime era I watched as many Lakers games throughout the 80s that I could since Magic Johnson was a rookie. Caitlin reminds me of the days when Magic would throw amazing passes and lead the league in assists. His high for a game was 24 done 3 times. Caitlin has the WNBA record of 19 but she could've topped 24 if her teammates made more easy layups and wide open 3s after getting passes from her. I've never watched a NCAA woman's basketball game or WNBA until early this year and I am hooked since I first saw Caitlin play in March.
She's never played 3x3. Ever. Two, I'm willing to wager good money she doesn't go to overseas this winter. She has so many commercial commitments. She may go overseas later. Dont know but not this year.
@@lynnhazlewood9738 I can agree, maybe not play overseas this year. It’s already a long season from College to WNBA. Best to rest and work on how to get better this WNBA off season.
That is quite funny that a fan of Japan would put up a sign like that. Even though they back their country they still wanted to see CC in person, she is a phenom that has brought many men to womens bBall that wasnt there before. Its also obvious the sign was made knowing they didnt have a chance against the USA. So amazing that Clark's popularity is so global. It all started from her "logo 3's " and then people saw her overall talent as a point guard, her transition game , passing , even more phenominal than her shooting.
What Arike Ogunbowale is doing is what most people would expect some players to do. The spotlight is currently on Caitlin, which means the spotlight is on the league too and instead of trying to invalidate her achievements and skills, why not use the opportunity to showcase your own skills and show them what you’ve got? CC’s great man and she shoots on an unlimited range, but Arike Ogunbowale’s 3PTs are actually on the next level because of her experience which leads to consistent shots. I would have NEVER had known & researched that if I had not decided to tune in for the WNBA All-Stars for CC. Don’t be petty about the fame, instead use it off of her and let the haters shut up. Why yap and ruin the one opportunity to shine?
@@MickeyMouse-ul8zl I don’t necessarily believe that putting two powerhouses on the same team will lead to the Championship, but I do think that in due time, if CC stays on Fever and pushes through, she may break all the barriers and bring the success that Tamika Catchings had given to the Indiana Fever a decade ago. What she had with Temi Fagbenle was really good, and it’s unfortunate that Temi’s out due to unexpected injury. Temi was quick, and she was tall, which is why she handled CC’s transition passes really well. But I’m also a believer that CC’s passes are very hard to execute AND hard to receive. The team is clearly still trying to get used to the intensity of her passing, and that can lead to high turnover rates. For 2024, I still think Las Vegas Aces and NY Liberty are the ultimate powerhouses and CC has a long way to go until she can bring the Indiana Fever to their championship, but I have no doubt she can do it. We just don’t know when.
@@ssideris It seems likely that these professionals have never received passes like CC's. It didn't take Iowa long to learn. I imagine it won't take the Fever long either. It also would be nice if the other players would learn to move towards the ball and not just wait for it to arrive. Its frustrating to watch. Just an opinion.
@@lynnhazlewood9738 I don’t think it’s that they’ve never received such a pass, but I think that it’s never been instilled into their training before so it’s an adjustment period. Even during CC’s Iowa days, the first 2 years of her college career was a learning in progress. You can see the hard work from her 3rd year onwards. And I understand about the moving towards the ball thing, I totally see where you’re coming from and I agree to an extent, but we also have to keep in mind that this is a team that has been getting the top 2 picks since 2022. They got the number 2 pick in 2022, and number 1 picks 2023-2024. They’ve got a lot to work on, and they’re a very young team. There’s so much a number 1 overall draft pick can do within a year, but I think if the Fever make it into playoffs this season, then they’re going in the right direction considering the Fever hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2016. So baby steps, and maybe in a year or two, we’ll see this team flourish into something that Tamika Catchings had back when she won the championship with Fever.
Caitlin Clark is breaking ALL-TIME W(WE)NBA records with the 2nd half of the season left to play. Not just rookie records but all-time, long standing records in just half of a season. What makes her so special is the humility she has while doing great things. She’s not trying to pad her stats at the end of the game either like some other people. Magic needed a new head coach to reach the promised land. Jordan needed a new head coach to reach the promised land. The Fever need a new General Manager and a new Head Coach! The W(WE)NBA needs a new Commissioner to reach new heights!
Why do they hate on her? Simply put..... jealousy! They're not in the spotlight, have never been in the spotlight, and never will be in the spotlight (for anything positive)! We women are too emotional. They went from hating her when she was drafted to complaining she wasn't making enough when they announced what kind of money she was making to hating her again! Can't make this stuff up! 🙄🙄
Looking forward to what CC & the Fever do in the remaining 14 games of the season, and then in the playoffs. Another triple double? 20+ points and 20+ assists in a game? You have to think anything is possible.
These WNBA players, coaches, commissioner and USA committee cannot look out the window for having the mirror. The world sports reports, overseas leagues, and the millions of fans of CC overseas wanted her on the team, from an interview of USA Today's woman sports columnist.
the funny thing is they say 7 gold medals,7 gold medals like everyone know about it and care,i guess now nobody will know wether they got their 8th or not cos ain't nobody will watch "good players with chemistry" play,i can do that in my street court everyday 😂😂
Caitlin Clark is globally. People are just trying to hide it. It’s embarrassing to think how USA and WNBA can’t acknowledge what Caitlin Clark has brought to basketball and the world. Reese will do the same as long as she doesn’t play the villain. The world wants heroes.
That’s why I said a long time ago they better watch it. They say about CC, because I’m pretty sure a lot of countries out there that would pay a lot of money for her to be on the team
She is right. The WNBA must determine their reputation as a professional organization. Professionals don't treat others that join their ranks like a new prisoner in jail. The leaders should consider themselves committed to maintaining the reputation and safety of all; and all the members should be committed to maintaining the reputation of the organization and display professionalism above their own self-interest.
Men are not women and women are not men. Men will trash talk other men but after the game is over they'll praise their game. Men respect and understand skill and talent. Women only see it as drawing attention away from themselves.
it seems like now that CC brought eyes on us, we don't need her. they sound so sad any time a veteran player is asked which rookie would they like to play with its always anyone but Caitlin.
If the players before CC in the WNBA ever wonders why the arent marketable. I would say just watch yourselves on TV and how you treated CC coming in to the WNBA. It is your actions not your talents. Although you players see the talent of CC you all will never admit. CC is marketable because of her talent and her respect for the game .
Women's basketball is a gimme gold event for the US. They could have picked any random team by lottery and easily won gold. It is boring and nowhere near the quality we see in the mens game. They took away the only reason why I would have watched so I didn't watch them and do not plan to. I feel bad for the international players that will never get the exposure they could have had.
I'm from New Zealand and have never watched a WNBA game until Caitlin
I’m sure 🙄
Same. I heard they had a women's league, but the highlights were awful. Then I saw Clark. Man she plays smooth. The others were so dumpy yet her passing and shooting were pinpoint.

And I understand about the moving towards the ball thing, I totally see where you’re coming from and I agree to an extent, but we also have to keep in mind that this is a team that has been getting the top 2 picks since 2022. They got the number 2 pick in 2022, and number 1 picks 2023-2024. They’ve got a lot to work on, and they’re a very young team. There’s so much a number 1 overall draft pick can do within a year, but I think if the Fever make it into playoffs this season, then they’re going in the right direction considering the Fever hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2016. So baby steps, and maybe in a year or two, we’ll see this team flourish into something that Tamika Catchings had back when she won the championship with Fever.
Yep, Arike and CC and Angel should have been on team USA. The viewership would have been global.
I'm not sure Angel will make it next time . Too many players at her position that are much better. BTW, I'm not an AR hater.
Caitlin Clark is breaking ALL-TIME W(WE)NBA records with the 2nd half of the season left to play. Not just rookie records but all-time, long standing records in just half of a season.
What makes her so special is the humility she has while doing great things. She’s not trying to pad her stats at the end of the game either like some other people.
Magic needed a new head coach to reach the promised land.
Jordan needed a new head coach to reach the promised land.
The Fever need a new General Manager and a new Head Coach!
The W(WE)NBA needs a new Commissioner to reach new heights!
@JohnAWPBFL I'm in perfect agreement with you! Caitlin Clark as a #Rookie is the best point guard in the WNBA! Go! Caitlin! Go!🎉
Just heard Mexican commentators talking about Caitlin during the Canada vs Australia game, talk about going global without being at the olympics
To be 54 years old and sitting here missing the WNBA games ( Fever games) honestly has me a little confused!🤣🤣
Hey bra even Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see that C. Clark is the best Rookie ever ❤❤❤❤❤😎😎
You dont need to read the subtitles. We can read it clearly.
If Catlin was there just think of the jersey sales on top of filling the seats
Why do they hate on her? Simply put..... jealousy! They're not in the spotlight, have never been in the spotlight, and never will be in the spotlight (for anything positive)!
We women are too emotional. They went from hating her when she was drafted to complaining she wasn't making enough when they announced what kind of money she was making to hating her again!
Can't make this stuff up! 🙄🙄
Help me out people. Greatness comes from the humbleness ofa person or through the eyes of a humble person.
Looking forward to what CC & the Fever do in the remaining 14 games of the season, and then in the playoffs. Another triple double? 20+ points and 20+ assists in a game? You have to think anything is possible.
I have been in America since 1997, never watched WNBA until I heard about CC.
from PH 🇵🇭 here.. I bought W League Pass to watch CC.
These WNBA players, coaches, commissioner and USA committee cannot look out the window for having the mirror. The world sports reports, overseas leagues, and the millions of fans of CC overseas wanted her on the team, from an interview of USA Today's woman sports columnist.
the funny thing is they say 7 gold medals,7 gold medals like everyone know about it and care,i guess now nobody will know wether they got their 8th or not cos ain't nobody will watch "good players with chemistry" play,i can do that in my street court everyday 😂😂
I’m sure the USA Olympic comity is loving this troll
Exactly 💯She Brought The Views
We alright. I know dang. I miss them.
Caitlin Clark is globally. People are just trying to hide it. It’s embarrassing to think how USA and WNBA can’t acknowledge what Caitlin Clark has brought to basketball and the world. Reese will do the same as long as she doesn’t play the villain. The world wants heroes.
From philippines here. Nobody watch wnba until caitlin clark join the league. She doesnt ball like those girls in wnba
Someone should have a sign for the next game saying “All these empty seats are reserved for CC fans” 😂🤣
That’s why I said a long time ago they better watch it. They say about CC, because I’m pretty sure a lot of countries out there that would pay a lot of money for her to be on the team
Number 5 is hot as hell.
Eleanna Christinaki is her name, great player in her own right, MVP of the Greek basketball league
Basketball IS Int´l game. WNBA dont really get it now. But Int´l players get it...NHL, NBA were hard on rookies from outside north America in past
even other countries is thanking CC and appreciatinv her for elevating the W.
Excellent man
She is right. The WNBA must determine their reputation as a professional organization. Professionals don't treat others that join their ranks like a new prisoner in jail. The leaders should consider themselves committed to maintaining the reputation and safety of all; and all the members should be committed to maintaining the reputation of the organization and display professionalism above their own self-interest.
I'm a big fan of only CC, no one else.
The guy on the left that we couldn’t see said she’s basically isn’t answering the question because she wants to play in the W one day
"you need CC to beat us" is crazy LMAO
Dude, we can read and spread our focus.
Whoever this young lady is, she’ll be hated by other players if she comes into the WNBA. she’s beautiful and is well spoken.
Eleanna Christinaki , she is the MVP in the Greek basketball league
They took somebody that wouldn't stand for the flag instead of Clark just to slap those fans in the face
That’s what I’ve been saying, the whole world knows about what’s going on with the WNBA, so sad
im just gonna watch the olympic boxing...not to support the US...but to see the talent worldwide.
Simp mode activated. That Spanish chick is cute
She is Greek actually 😅Eleanna Christinaki is her name. Greek league MVP.
This US women's team denied the world Caitlin out of spite. It's sad
They are laughing at the way she is treated here. I can’t believe the players and coaches here have the stones to talk stupid 😂
American women be hating. Not American men.. don't get it twisted
Men are not women and women are not men.
Men will trash talk other men but after the game is over they'll praise their game. Men respect and understand skill and talent. Women only see it as drawing attention away from themselves.
Facts bro it’s so crazy I don’t get it why them wnba players hate so much like why bro we actually watching because of her
Amen
it seems like now that CC brought eyes on us, we don't need her. they sound so sad any time a veteran player is asked which rookie would they like to play with its always anyone but Caitlin.
I love that although she is not at Olympics competing, she's still being talked about. That is just proof that she is the draw for the WNBA.
A hater is going to hate. they hate themselves . to be happy in life you have to be ok with yourself first
If the players before CC in the WNBA ever wonders why the arent marketable. I would say just watch yourselves on TV and how you treated CC coming in to the WNBA. It is your actions not your talents. Although you players see the talent of CC you all will never admit. CC is marketable because of her talent and her respect for the game .
They definitely don't need cailitn to beat any asain country
They want her and they can have her
Women's basketball is a gimme gold event for the US. They could have picked any random team by lottery and easily won gold. It is boring and nowhere near the quality we see in the mens game. They took away the only reason why I would have watched so I didn't watch them and do not plan to. I feel bad for the international players that will never get the exposure they could have had.
Got to watch Noah Lyles run!
Your spelling is wrong believe and receive sometimes are confusing 😮
Caitlin Clark reminds me of Lary Bird, with her ability to fine teammates on the court.
